Mary Ann Lee Conservation Carousel

Mary Ann Lee Conservation Carousel

The Mary Ann Lee Conservation Carousel at the Saint Louis Zoo is a wonderful educational and recreational resource. Children and their families can marvel at each beautifully hand-carved animal. The message that we all need to help conserve these magnificent species and their threatened habitats will be apparent to all of our visitors. But, the Conservation Carousel is also something much more.

The Conservation Carousel is a vehicle for change. The funds generated for the Conservation Carousel help the Zoo expand our international conservation and research efforts. Those enjoying a ride on the Conservation Carousel will have the satisfaction of knowing they are supporting a vital cause -- the preservation of the world's endangered species and the habitats where they live. This support will increase the funds available for our efforts in places like Madagascar, Nicaragua, the Galapagos Islands and right here in Missouri. Learn more about these projects and ways to support our conservation efforts through the WildCare Institute. The Zoo had its one millionth rider on the carousel in early 2007.

The Saint Louis Zoo Needs Your Support

Your gift to the Zoo Foundation to support the Conservation Carousel will have a lasting impact. The Conservation Carousel itself will remain a fixture at the Zoo and in the community for decades to come. The memories created and the messages learned will work in tandem to transform how our visitors -- and ultimately, the entire community -- understand the complex challenges of conservation of endangered species. With your support for the Conservation Carousel, we can make a difference.
